CNC Machining Service
CNC machining is a subtractive manufacturing process include CNC milling, CNC turning, drilling presses, and CNC routing to produce highly precise parts. This process removes material from a workpiece to form the final shape and is essential in plastic fabrication.
CNC machining offers several advantages for plastic part production. It is a fast, cost-effective method for producing tight-tolerance parts without the tooling fees as injection molding.
With over 20 years of experience in precision CNC machining of engineering plastics, particularly polycarbonate sheet and acrylic sheets, Excelite Plastics provides a comprehensive manufacturing facility. We utilize the latest CNC equipment, combined with manual and automated machinery, to support both prototyping and production runs.

Limitation and challenge of CNC Machining on Plastics
- Structure Limits
Interlocking and hollowed structure is difficult to be machined with CNC. - Scale Effect
The unit cost and lead time will not be reduced as much as injection molded parts. - Production of a large amount of waste
Common CNC Plastic Machining Parts
CNC machining prototype
CNC machining is ideal for rapid prototyping and low-volume production, allowing you to test designs before full-scale manufacturing and avoid costly mistakes.
Defense Industry
Polycarbonate CNC machining is widely used in the Police, Military, and Defense sectors for applications such as bulletproof helmet visors, police shields, demining visors, and ballistic visors.
Our expertise lies in custom fabricating clear, see-through polycarbonate safety machine guards using high-quality materials, tailored to your needs through CNC machining.
Aviation, Aerospace Industry
Nameplates and faceplate, Decals, Warning, instructional and control plates, Graphic overlays, Electronics labeling, Panel fronts, OSHA labels, Switch panels
Automotive Industry
Polycarbonates are popular in the automotive industry for energy absorption, weight reduction, and shock absorption in bumpers, reducing explosion risks in fuel tanks.
Industrial Equipment
Incorporated in machinery parts, fixtures, and toolings, such as jigs and custom components for manufacturing processes.
